"Color me surprised, I didn't think that Aaron would be making a move on Nathalia,"
"Me too, I didn't expect it either. But that is just the world works, it just loves to surprise us." Whenever he visits that Coleman mansion and Nathalia is around, he never noticed the interaction between Aaron and Nathalia.
Now that he is hearing everything that happened from Mary, he wondered what happened to make those a two a thing.
"So, did Mary said anything else?" Mike asked. He truly wants to everything that happened. His gossipy side is awakening the moment he hears interesting things that are going between his friends. And once he learns all about it, he will take advantage of it.
"Asked Mary or Leonardo. It's more interesting coming from them." Alfonso purposely doesn't want Mike to know about what happened. He doesn't want to be the one to be blamed when Mike gets what he wants.
Mike groaned, then he said, "You just don't want to tell me because you know that I'll blame it on you for telling me." Sometimes, Mike regrets letting everyone that he is close to knows this side of his. Because of that, none of his friends like to tell him interesting gossips about themselves.
"I'm glad that you know that."

Soon after, the plane finally arrived at their destination. Anna and Kyle went on their separate ways. Mike is the one who takes Anna home while Alfonso does the same to Kyle.
Inside Alfonso's car, he and Kyle are conversing with one another. "So, when are you gonna ask Anna out?" He asked. His face didn't show any hint that he already knows the truth, and that made Kyle answer him without any suspicion.
"Soon." An answer that leaves people in suspense. Alfonso can only inwardly laugh at Kyle. Now, he is somewhat feeling bad for asking such a question when he already knows the truth.
"If you and Anna are started dating now, how will you tell your family or to the people who know both of you?" Alfonso asked another question. Although he already knows one of the things that Kyle is planning, he wants to know everything.
Kyle is his nephew, but Anna is a soft one. He doesn't want to see Anna crying because of Kyle. So he wants to know how serious Kyle is. Kyle's actions so far are not enough for him to believe. 'Kyle is still young, he might not know if he really wants a future with Anna.'
Kyle is not starting to get suspicious of his uncle's interrogation. It's making him feel like that his uncle doesn't trust him to make Anna happy. Kyle doesn't know what to feel about that. Should he be feel insulted or feel sad? Either way, it's a negative feeling.
If the reason why he is not trusted to make Anna happy, then Kyle understands why Alfonso is asking him these questions. Anna might act tough, but she has a soft heart, and one harsh comment might even make her cry.
"I would keep it a secret first because I want Anna's father to be the first one to know about our relationship. And I'm pretty sure that he will be against it, so I will have to work hard for him to give me the blessing to date his daughter."
Arion has been gone for a long time and did not have the longest time to spend with his family. The moment he comes back home, then he suddenly discovered someone is going to take his daughter away before he could even spend time with her is making him feel like there is a clear distance between them. That is how Kyle understood Arion.
He wants Arion to understand that even if he is dating Anna, the relationship between them, father and daughter, won't ever change. Arion is still going to be Anna's father, but he is Anna's boyfriend. There is a difference between the two.
"Why would you even go that far? I know that Anna is a unique girl, but there is a lot of fishes out there to catch. You are still young, after all." Alfonso is not against the relationship between the two, but they are still young, and yet they already chose their first relationship to be the last one of their lives.
If they do manage to be each other's lasts ones, then Alfonso will be willing to take any punishment that the heavens will bestow upon him.
"That's that point, Anna is a unique girl and the only of its kind. Why would I let go of this fish when it is the rarest out of all the fishes out there." Kyle said with a proud smile plastered on his face. He feels proud of himself that he caught the rarest one in the world. And it would be stupid of him to let such rare gem go.
"Huh. You sure have a way with your words, Kyle. I hope that helps you with Arion." Alfonso didn't know what else to say after hearing that comment from Kyle. His nephew knows how to smoothly reply to anything, but this, this is just overly on the top.
Their ride went on smoothly. Alfonso drops Kyle in front of the main door. Kyle wanted to at least let his uncle have a drink inside before going back to his place, but Alfonso declines the offer. It's not that he doesn't want to have one, it is just he doesn't want to be inside when he is sure that there is going to be a surprise for Kyle and everything will be pointed at him.
'I better leave now or else, this nephew of mine will show his wrath on me.' He inwardly said. But before he leaves he texted his sister, saying that Kyle is home.
While watching his uncle's car drove away, Kyle is getting the feeling that there is something his uncle is avoiding inside the mansion. He has no clue what it is, but because of that feeling, he doesn't want to go inside now.
"Young Master, you're already home?" Kyle turned around to see who said that, and it was the butler of the mansion. "Please, come inside. You might catch a cold if you stay out this long at night." The butler added in a concerned tone.
"How is everything while I was gone out," Kyle asked. During that whole trip, Kyle didn't contact any of his family. Because of that, he thinks that his mother and father might be sulking on the fact that he didn't contact them. They sometimes act like a child.
"Well... they are doing fine." Kyle can sense the hesitation in the butler's voice. It made Kyle wonder if his family is really doing fine or not.
"Butler, are you hiding something from me?" The butler can lie that he is not hiding anything from Kyle, but the way Kyle's tone of voice is like a demanding one. Kyle won't take 'no' for an answer. Whether the butler likes it or not, he has to tell Kyle.
The butler sighed, then he said, "Young Master, I think it's better that you see it for yourself." He opened the door and let Kyle in. The moment they walked in, confetti greeted them. The butler already expected this so he is not as surprised at his Young Master is.
Kyle looks at the people in front of him, then to the big banner that is hanging on the wall that says, 'Congratulations on your first relationship!'
Kyle is in disbelief. He now understands why his uncle left in a hurry, it's because of this that's why. He doesn't know how did his uncle know about what happened between him and Anna, but it has come to that, it's most likely that his uncle already knows what he is planning, and yet his uncle told his family about it?
'What kind of a joke is this?' He inwardly asks.
Seeing that Kyle is not moving on his spot, his mother approached him with a wide smile on her face. "I'm so proud of you! You made me cry when I heard from Alfonso that you got Anna to be your girlfriend. Why didn't you tell me yourself? You're supposed to be the one doing that job, not your uncle!"
Although Layla is complaining, it's clear that she is not mad. She fully understands why, and she won't get in her son's way of doing things.
Soon after, Stan reached out to hug his son tightly. "I am also proud of you! Haha! You have done a great job!" In Stan's mind, he is already thinking when will his son asks Anna to be part of their family.
"Brother! Finally! You finally got some guts to ask her out! It took you a while. I was starting to think that you're a coward." Lannie is happy about the news of his brother, but apart from that, she is excited about getting the reward that she deserves for helping his brother get close to Anna.
"Congrats." That's the only word that Kyle's grandfather said to him.
